EUREKA RED JAKE

The Eureka Red Jake Peacock Cichlid is another Aulonocara species of cichlids. The males of the species feature a beautiful metallic blue face that extends to the tail, contrasted with splashes of metallic red along their back and behind the gills.  They are a striking and distinctive species that makes a beautiful addition to a home aquarium.

Eureka Red Jake Peacocks are less aggressive than other cichlids so they can be paired peacefully with other peacock cichlids. Be wary of dominant males and consider only one male in the tank at a time. These fish pair with the German Red Peacock and Blue Neon Peacock fine.

This hybrid is derived from the Otter Point Peacock. Males have a light blue colored face with the same blue running from their pectoral fins to their tail.  Their red color develops on the top part of their body, going midway up their dorsal fin.
